Revamped kosher cafe adds exhibit space for art

Tucked inside the Jewish Home and Care Center on the east side is a kosher cafe that’s open to the public. Now, inside that cafe, is an art gallery.

The grand opening for the revamped cafe and its exhibit space is 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Rubenstein Family Kosher Oasis, 1414 N. Prospect Ave.

The first artist whose works will be exhibited in the gallery is Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000), known for his use of natural shapes and bright colors.

Visitors can have a look at the artwork during the festivities, as well as try menu samples and listen to live music.

The art and the menu will change seasonally at the restaurant, said to be the only table-service kosher restaurant in Wisconsin.

The cafe is adding grab-and-go items and self-serve coffee, however. The new menu, with prices generally $7 or less, has hot and cold sandwiches, salads and quesadillas, and daily specials posted on Facebook. The cafe also is serving a new Sunday brunch menu.
